[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Awesome that you are car-free! Our family, now with a late-elementary student and a middle school student, is as well. The best part is the independence they have as they start taking themselves to activities on the transit they are so accustomed to. We personally lived in a central-ish spot, went to our not really popular in-bound elementary (that we loved), moved aboard, and when we moved back, we moved into an apartment west of the park. It gave us a foot into the lottery, but we ended up loving the neighborhood, so we are going to stay. I wouldn’t be too worried about moving schools later socially, as people in DC are constantly switching schools for moves or lotteries. Being car-free is such an amazing positive, but you do have to plan your life carefully (as you know!). I’d start local and then fret about middle school as it gets closer. There are more good options these days as other posters have mentioned.[/quote] I think it's more AWESOME and POSITIVE to have all the options: car, bike, foot, transit. the self congratulatory hubris from no car Luddites is weird[/quote]
